  22. No, they don't.  They're not as infuriating as mace (which really
  23. pisses people off), but they're as ineffective.  There's a
  24. self-defense school that demonstrates that by using a zap from a
  25. stun-gun as the signal to initiate an exercise.  (They're good for
  26. that, at least until the participants get used to them.)
